The gigabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. The prefix giga means 109 in the International System of Units (SI).

Key Points

1 gigabyte (GB) = 1024 MB = 1024 * 1024 kilobytes (KB).

= 1GB = 210 MB = 210 210  KB

= 1GB = 220KB

= 16GB = 24 * 220KB

Then, simply divide the total KB by the size of each file (2 KB):

= (24 * 220KB / 2Kb) = 23 * 220 = 223KB files.

Therefore the correct answer is 223
